Heustadlwasser (Prater, Vienna)

Highlight • River

06/04/2022 - The Heustadlwasser is located in the middle of the green Prater in Vienna. It is a former side arm of the Danube, which flows around a frequently flooded wetland area, the Krieau, from the Messe Wien to the Lusthaus as an island. A hay barn was built on this "island" for feeding wild animals, hence the name of the water body. In 1875, the inflow of Heustadlwasser was filled in when the Danube was regulated in Vienna. Today, the Heustadlwasser is divided into two by the Prater Hauptallee (into the upper and lower Heustadlwasser). At a small boat rental at the end of the water in the Stadionallee, near the Stadionbad, pedal boats for 2 to 6 people can be rented for a boat tour. The water here is up to 8 meters deep. Already at the beginning of the boat tour you can turn under a small footbridge into a small lake, the Rosenteich. Here are good bathing spots, especially for people with dogs, and a children's playground. The big bridge over the Heustadlwasser is the autobahn with the southeast tangent. Other bridges for cyclists and pedestrians cross under the car bridge. Beautiful hiking trails lead around the Heustadlwasser on both sides. Not far from the boat rental is the terminus of the Liliputbahn. Beautiful walking paths lead to the Jesuitenwiese and the Konstantinteich in the Prater.

A café and restaurant dating back to the Imperial era, featuring classic furnishings, a shaded terrace, and its own patisserie. A very good place to stop for a break.

Lusthaus in the Vienna Prater

Highlight • Historical Site

When you walk to the pleasure house, you need not be afraid of a slippery aftertaste. Because in such an establishment at the time of the Renaissance and the Baroque all youth-free pleasures were pursued. Festivals, receptions or other festivities - the Lusthaus was at that time something like today perhaps a municipal cultural center.

A well-known example is the Viennese pleasure house in the Prater. It was built in the 16th century and initially served as a hunting lodge. At the time it was still on the water, because at that time the Danube Canal had not yet been relocated. During the Second World War, the Lusthaus was almost completely destroyed, but immediately afterwards reconstructed and reopened in 1949. Today it is a listed building and houses a café and a restaurant.

Rosenlacke

Highlight • Lake

The Rosenlacke in the Prater is an idyllic and often surprisingly quiet natural area that offers a welcome change from the more lively part of the park. As a picturesque oxbow lake of the Danube, this small lake invites you to unwind and enjoy nature. Whether for a short rest, to admire the reflections of the trees in the water, or simply to soak up the calming atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle – the Rosenlacke is a hidden gem and the perfect place for a little break amidst Vienna's greenery.
